Spinach & Ricotta Manicotti

My friends and visitors to this blog are already familiar with the fact that I really don't enjoy using raw egg in my recipes. I try as far as possible to avoid them and where necessary replace them with relevant alternatives. All the recipes that I have come across for manicotti tend to use egg in the filling, I believe to bind together the ingredients. When I set out to make this recipe egg free, I was not quite sure how the filling would hold up. I was really pleasantly surprised to see it turned out perfect!!

First time I tasted manicotti when I was in hospital after my delivery. I was blown away with the taste. I am not sure if they used eggs but that included ricotta and cottage cheese. The dish is looking tempting. Will try it soon.
